Sepak Takraw Could be this MrC

Hmm.. Now why did I think to wiki it! Actually I have heard of it before then, just never know its name. It is damn cool to watch.

It is one of the events held every 2 years in the Arafura Games here in Darwin, awesome to watch and one of the hardest events to get a seat at.

essentially footy aerobatics in action
that’s what it’s
very popular in Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand

I think it’s the game similar to volleyball and they can use any part of the body except their hands to hit the ball over the net?

The ball is about 6 – 8 inchs in dia and made of woven Bamboo strands.

It is the game that’s similar to volleyball. Literal translation is to “kick cane”. Pronounced “Sepuk Tark Raw” (roll your arse when you say Raw). The ball is actually made from Rattan cane, not bamboo. Rattan is much more flexble, so it’s less likely to break when being kicked. I have a few lying around.

When I lived in Darwin I used to watch a lot of guys playing this on the school ovals. Impressive stuff. The serves are most impressive. One drunken night in Phuket, I bumped into a bunch of local guys drinking beer and kicking a bola takraw hacky-sack style. They invited me to play after accidentally kicking it in my direction and I kicked it straight back (years of hacky-sack practise on my part). Joined in until sunrise. One of the most memorable nights I’ve had.
